【英语4级听力】说再见-Saying Goodbye

Mitchell was moving to college. "Are you taking Buddy¹?" asked his mom. Buddy was his teddy bear. Mitchell did not know what to do. He loved Buddy. He had him since he was a baby. Buddy made him feel safe.

 

Mitchell knew that he would be laughed at if he took Buddy with him. College men do not own teddy bears. It was time to say goodbye to Buddy. This broke Mitchell's heart.

 

When the moving day came, he couldn't do it. Mitchell ran to his room and grabbed² Buddy. He hid him in his suitcase. Then he hid him under his pillow³ at college. No one ever found out that Mitchell slept with a teddy bear.
